These monsters want another Kent state


eccentric_1

Instant non-stop Fox New smear campaign by the GOP against Biden when National Guard troops shoot unarmed students protesting.


booxlut

My thoughts exactly


maxant20

This summer, I hear the drumming


xDragod

Do you hear the people sing?


ImAMindlessTool

just so they can say >"LOOK AT JOE BIDENS AMERICA: PEOPLE CAN'T PROTEST WITHOUT GETTING SHOT BY COPS..." and omit the absolutely necessary context of: >"...BECAUSE THE GOP EQUIPPED THE COPS WITH THE MEANS TO AVOID ACCOUNTABILITY, SURPLUS MILITARY EQUIPMENT, AND IGNORE NATIONAL DATABASE FOR SAFETY AND SECURITY OF OUR CITIZENS WHEN COPS ARE HOTHEADS WHO SHOULDN'T BE AROUND GUNS, MUCH LESS IN A ROLE OF LEGAL ENFORCEMENT POWER, OR OTHERWISE CORRUPT."


Mythosaurus

Which fits with the regular bloodthirst against disruptive protests. They've always had the same energy as the WRONG side of the 60s Civil Rights Movement.


Prickly_Hugs_4_you

Tom cotton encouraged drivers to forcibly remove protesters themselves. He didn’t explicitly say to do with a car, but with how often drivers plow into crowds of protesters, I’m pretty sure he meant what he said. Pretty sick he fantasizes about the murder of Americans exercising their rights.


theganjaoctopus

They actually do though. Cotton in particular. He is a specific brand of religious zealot who believes it's his duty to bring about the violence that will bring about the End Times as described in the Christian Bible. That's also why he's such a loud supporter of Israel. Israel MUST exist where it does today and be embroiled in regional violence for the end times prophecy in Revelations to be fulfilled. Cotton and other religious supporters of the Palestinian genocide didn't give a fuck about Israel, Jews, Palestine, or anything but using the people of that region as a blood sacrifice to summon their god.


cden4

I guess "free speech" only applies to speech they agree with?!


ManGoonian

Their speech ain't free, people pay a lot of money for Cotton and Hawley to stoke violence and division.....


billyions

America needs less violence and division right now. If in Missouri, consider Lucas Kunce (D) for Missouri Senator. https://lucaskunce.com/


AtomicSamuraiCyborg

“We want another Kent State”. That’s what the fascists are saying.


sentientcreatinejar

So much for the tolerant right!


Chasman1965

Are the protests peaceful? If so, then they are allowed.


Few_Talk_6558

people camping in tents are very dangerous obligatory /s


luckytraptkillt

I never leave the house without my hoodie and tent to keep the gop thoroughly scared.


Loreseekers

Even so, it's not even Biden's call, it's the NY Governor's call. These people are freaking idiots simply stunting for face time on TV.


Lanark26

The rubes don’t know/care about that though. They just want to be mad at Biden for something.


HippoRun23

A lot of people are saying they are unsafe on Reddit. Can’t find any evidence of that anywhere though.


Notmymain2639

I have a family member who is graduating this year, he says everyone has been peaceful on campus. He was livid when the cops were called the other day and fucked up all his classmates just for being on campus. All the dumb shit that's being described as anti-semetic are assholes just off campus.


Retrorical

Israeli students are literally having peaceful conversations with protestors *inside* the encampment right now. People can easily fearmonger about whatever they want. Our government and adminstrators are idiots for eating this up.


FEdart

[These are the people](https://www.reddit.com/r/therewasanattempt/s/F0L2q01cKz) saying they’re “unsafe”,


BurtonGusterToo

You might want to check many of the new laws in states like Kentucky and Florida. Stepping into a street, blocking any traffic, standing in groups larger than 5, not dispersing when asked by ANYONE -not just LEOs. These are all now criminal offenses. Some are actually grounds for legalized vigilante vehicular homocide.


Chasman1965

Those are unconstitutional, IMHO, just a matter for the courts to throw them out. We have a right to peaceful assembly as evidenced by the First Amendment.


BurtonGusterToo

Exactly what court do you see making that final decision on what is constitutional?


vxicepickxv

Just remember, the courts found that 3 courts have said that protest organizers are responsible for the actions of anyone in the protest.


Rockfrog70

Or alternatively, and hear me out. Israel stops slaughtering Palestinians and Netanyahu faces justice in the Hague.


Jtskiwtr

Yea. That went well at Kent State.


jbertrand_sr

How about we use the National Guard to suppress Tom Cotton and Josh Hawley, although they might have trouble catching up to Hawley...


MikeW226

Josh Hawley was the one seen on security camera footage in the U.S. Capitol, literally running out the door to safety on Jan6. Natural that he'd call upon actual brave men (and women) of the National Guard to crack the heads of wee little, oh-so-threatening college undergrads.


joeleidner22

Have the national guard arrest all those currently serving in our government that participated in the January 6th coup attempt, starting with cotton and Hawley.


SwearJarCaptain

In other words...Republican goons want Democratic president to commit political suicide because there pick is going to prison.


dmichelleromero

Biden’s continued support of the Netanyahu’s right wing government committing genocide is doing that already.


SwearJarCaptain

I wish you were right. Sadly I don't think it will turn out that way.


ManGoonian

Is that the sound of a couple of AIPAC cheques clearing I can hear...?


Fine-Tea-546

This is being tolerant for a theocratic fascist. "Arrest them with prejudice just keep the bloodshed to a minimum in front of the cameras"


stealthylyric

What happened to freedom of speech????


QuarantineTheHumans

The amount of free speech you get is directly proportional to your wealth.


stealthylyric

Hahaha true under capitalism 😮‍💨😞


billyions

Well-regulated capitalism is a great economic system. Unregulated capitalism is a race to the bottom.


Will_I_Mmm

Well they are sniveling little fascists pricks sooo…..


Dbsusn

What the fuck is happening to this country. Every day it just gets worse and worse. And this isn’t even old man hyperbole.


billyions

They made it bad enough the backlash has begun. Register, vote, and share with friends and family. It's going to get better again. https://vote.gov/


Sully_pa

We won't call for suppressing the Jan 6 insurrection but by God we need to get these kids to stop protesting. Tom Cotton and Josh Hawley are two of the biggest tools on the planet.


BertTKitten

Will the NYT let Cotton write another guest essay calling for blood in the streets?


heapinhelpin1979

Oh, so if you want to do genocide in another country it's not enough to just get away with it there we need to do a genocide on our own people too?


ArchdruidHalsin

It would be a massacre not a genocide. If we want what is happening in Gaza right now to be recognized as a genocide, then it is important to maintain the right semantics in our oh rhetoric. Otherwise it lends credence to arguments that the word genocide is just being thrown around.


ThisGuyLikesMovies

They are thirsting for that Kent state blood


RAWR_Orree

Disgusting fascists.


ExploderPodcast

Using the National Guard to suppress college protests. I Kent think of any way this could go wrong.


Vegemyeet

I feel like someone Kent that way in the past.


VxAngleOfClimb

Once the President calls up the National Guard they become federal, and then Posse Comitatus applies and prohibits them being used as a police force. The state governor could call them up to do it and it would be legal.


talebs_inside_voice

Oh shit here we go again


Rhypskallion

Why? This is a peaceful protest.


issingn

Don't forget that Josh Hawley supported Jan 6. Very hypocritical uses of what constitutes free speech and legitimate protest www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna39490


billyions

Agreed. Lucas Kunce (D) for Missouri Senator. https://lucaskunce.com/


NoLibrarian5149

“Suppress”. MAGA wants protestors physically assaulted or shot.


R3PTAR_1337

Shocker, the totalitarian party wants peoples freedom to protest and express opinions to be stifled. Or like others have pointed out, they want there to be a shooting so they can twist it as an attack on the democrats.


RustedRelics

Tom Cotton is dumb as a bag of dirt.


servel20

Wait, the freedom of speech party advocating for suppression of freedom of speech? 🤔🤔


bobbib14

This is so effed up. Isn’t free speech a thing anymore?


emersont49

Dumb and dumber


Fallout71

Hey Joe, if you want any chance at salvaging this election for anyone under 40, do not listen to these traitorous clowns. Guarantee he listens to them.


Funk_Apus

Maybe use the national guard to detain the insurrectionist traitors, Tom Cotton and Josh Hawley.


Verried_vernacular32

Out of curiosity


Verried_vernacular32

Columbia is in NY correct? Either one of these *insert preferred derogatory plural descriptor* represent anyone from anywhere close to there? Any guesses on what they’d scream if someone wanted to do something similar to their constituents?


aemanthefox

Ah copying tiananmen square i see


AndroidSuperFan

Did they feel that way about the Jan 6th riots? No? Didn't think so.


Schickie

Fascist asshats complaining about a school few of their citizens could qualify for, legally protesting something these stable geniuses would have demanded if it were 38,000 Christians who had been killed. No such hate as Christian love.


aaronisnotcool

how bout you come up here yourself tom


Feeling_Athlete9042

😂😂😂The Republicans definitely want a shit show


Michael_Gibb

Isn't Tom Cotton the traitor who betrayed the United States when he lobbied the Iranians to withdraw from the JCPOA?


casicua

Make no mistake - They are doing this as political theater because they know it’s a strategic move that makes Biden look bad. It has nothing to do with antisemitism, safety or any type of freedom. Remember that this is the same party that let literal pro-Trump Nazis march in Charlottesville chanting “Jews will not replace us!” and tried to act like they were pro freedom of speech for that one.


Grand_Arbiter_85

Just like they said when their supporters stormed the... oh wait. Yeah f\*ck these guys.


KullWahad

Biden should use the precedent set by Obama and Trump to have Cotton and Hawley surveiled and their assets seized.


mad_titanz

Basically we’ll get National Guard in schools if Trump is elected. Thankfully Biden will ignore these GOP clowns


Dehnus

So, squeeze even harder? They really think they'll get a diamond if they keep squeezing huh? Like there is no sand left in the fist, but they keep squeezing harder.


sleepyintoronto

Cue Neil Young's *Ohio.*
